A remarkable antique globe, rich with character and history. This early terrestrial globe rests on a three-legged cast iron pedestal base, its form both sturdy and elegant. A cast iron ring encircles the globe, allowing it to pivot smoothly within its frame.
The surface of the globe features a hand-applied world map, aged to perfection with timeworn patina, soft fading, and gentle wear that speak to its age and use. The muted tones and delicate cartographic details offer a glimpse into a bygone era of exploration and discovery.
Whether displayed in a study, library, or collector’s cabinet, this globe serves as a striking conversation piece—uniting craftsmanship, history, and artistry in one sculptural object.
